I'm sending you an email, interested in the Seminole pumpking and Tromboncino squash.

I've grown Sunleaper and Kewalo, neither did well. But that's probably because they were grown in the garden. Nematodes stressed them out earlier than many other varieties, then whiteflies, mealybugs, stinkbugs et al took advantage. My one success story came from a Burbank, in a pot, that produced wonderfully all winter and spring, in full sun. Late April it had some mishap with sand cranes breaking branches. I moved it to a spot that got great morning sun til 10 or 11 and shade the rest of the day. It grew back lushly and set lots of fruit til late August when whiteflies got the upper hand. Perhaps the success was the placement in AM sun, or was it the variety? Possibly because it was always free of RKN? Don't know. It might work with other smaller varieties like Roma, that can be kept in pots and moved to the right location as the season changes. Another that kept on going through the summer and actually started back in full force as the weather cooled was Red Robin, tiny plants with larger and sweeter than average cherries. Very easy to move! I believe high humidity plays more of a role in fruit set than high heat. Pollen gets to heavy and wet to flow freely to do its job in our summers. Maybe continuous hand pollinating would help. I brush the flowers all the time. Q-tips might help more during summer. Then again, you could grow some Everglades or Matt's or even Sungold through the summer. These guys don't know when to quit! Wish you best of luck! Keep us informed. Treefrog
